I'd say that's a documentation bug. Certainly is weird to allow
Windows or Mac users to type M-x make-frame-on-display with no clue

the consequences are of chosing one name over another.

IIRC, at some not-so-distant point in the past, Emacs didn't accept
tty and GUI frames on the same running instance.
